Just got home from Toronto General Hospital. I'm 100% now.
Let's go back a couple of weeks.
I play net for an Old timer hockey team called the Red Stallions. At 45 I'm one of the youngest on the team. On Dec 29th in the third period I went down and had a hell of a time getting up. My chest was TIGHT !{ oh **** don't f**k up the game you *****! we're winning} I made it to the end of the game. No beer that night. Went to the Dr.Jan 4th. The next 4 weeks it's all the tests you need to see if you had a heart attack.Stress test ,Angiogram,Echo cardiogram,Radioactive Isotope ex ray, No hockey!! No heart attack but really close. As the time goes by I can't even climb stairs now.
(Haven't missed any work at this point, I need the hours to retire in June!!! If I make it. I don't have a labor intensive job at GM, I'm an Inspector.)
Turns out I've got a blocked artery, no big deal really but can we have you swing by the Hospital next Tuesday? I go in on Monday night after work. Tuesday I'm poked and prodded, shaved and washed up. Tuesday at lunch I'm on the table and they have decided to go through my right arm to do Angioplasty and drop in a Stent. Oh crap it's 100% blocked.... push push poke push phew it's through. Angioplasty done, Stent stuffed in. Off to recovery. I think they checked my blood at least 20 times. I suggested maybe just put in a Tap. Some finger waving from the nurses and a pat from my new best friend, Dr. Ali Almamoud and his teacher Dr Ross. I'm up at 6am this morning. Out the door at 10 am. Back to my home town to attend a Dentist appointment. Life is good.
I am completely and utterly in awe of what has transpired in the last 72 hours. I'm fit. I feel great. You would not know I was at deaths door on Monday. Modern health care has saved me for another day.
Gotta go now it's bed time and I gotta get up to go to work tomorrow.
